Weber's Real Grilling

This is not the best beginner's barbecue / grilling book. It's not nearly as informative as Weber's Big Book of Grilling but it is decent read. The recipes in it aren't as basic the Big Book of Grilling but they are still pretty good if you are looking for something new to grill. If you already own Weber's Big Book of Grilling and are considering getting this one to then I wouldn't tell you not to get it. I've certainly seen worse.

I have nothing but good things to say about this book. There are tons of recipes, each one with a mouthwatering photo. None appear to be overly complicated, but look absolutely delicious. In addition, there are a few lists of general recipes for rubs and marinades, and lots of great tips. I love the author's writing style, as he just seems very down to earth and unpretentious (he also does the podcasts and video "cooking lessons" on the Weber Nation website).

Another thing I really like is that there is not a lot of "fluff," but instead there is a nice balance of information and recipes. In other words, he gives you the tips and information that you really need/want to know, but doesn't wax on and on about each specific recipe. It is a very hands on, workable cookbook in addition to being very attractive and appealing. A nice combination that doesn't always happen!

The book covers all aspects of grilling from picking out what to make
to rubs/marinades to how to cook them. Easy to follow.

This is a great grilling book and at the price it really deserves a perfect rating, but going by the retail price I wouldnt have bought it for that. If you were to see this book in the store, the poignant tips at the beginning of each chapter could be read and memorized while thumbing through and these tips are dynamite.. Totally gave me some direction when it came to chicken.. It has a lot of interesting and tasty recipes, but I expected more grilling tips.. Buy it for under $10 and its a steal...

This is not the normal "throw the steak on the fire" book. It's an easy to use our ordinary kitchen spices and flavors to make very good tasting foods. It's now gotten to the point where I seem to be doing most of the cooking.

I was very pleased with the shipping and quality of the book sent me by pendantpublishing. So thank you all.
